Introduction to the Debian mailing lists ======================================== Debian GNU/Linux is developed through distributed development all around the world. Therefore, email is the preferred way to discuss various items. Much of the conversation between Debian developers and users is managed through several mailing lists. There are many world-open mailing lists, meaning anyone can read everything that is posted, and participate in the discussions. Everyone is encouraged to help development of Debian and to spread the word of free software. There are also a few lists which are only open to official Debian developers; please don't interpret this as closed development, it sometimes doesn't make much sense discussing internal topics with non-developers. All original Debian mailing lists run on a special server, using an automatic mail processing software called SmartList. This server is called lists.debian.org. All submission, subscription and unsubscription messages have to be sent to a particular address at this host. The language used on all lists is English, unless stated otherwise. There are some user lists for other languages available. Subscription / Unsubscription ----------------------------- Anyone is able to subscribe/unsubscribe on their own to any mailing list, presuming the subscription policy for a particular list is `open'. The requests for subscription or unsubscription can be sent to a special control address, which is slightly different from the list address. Subscription or unsubscription messages should NOT be sent to the address of the mailing list itself. To subscribe or unsubscribe from a mailing list, please send mail to -REQUEST@lists.debian.org with the word `subscribe' or `unsubscribe' as subject. Please remember the -REQUEST part of the address. As part of the subscription process, the list software will send you an email to which you must reply in order to finish subscribing. This is a security measure to keep people from subscribing others to the lists without their permission. If you need to contact a human listmaster, direct your mail to listmaster@lists.debian.org . To find out who is responsible for the lists, take a look at http://www.debian.org/intro/organization User lists There are several user based mailing lists where developers and users can get in contact to discuss and solve problems. debian-announce@lists.debian.org Description : Major news and very important changes in the project are announced here.
